F7 is most directly above the "star" (asterisk). However, I don't usually visit F7 as part of a sequence, and it definitely has nothing to do with P[Q]RS. So it doesn't fit the riddle.

I was explaining why what I thought mistysakura was hinting at was the wrong answer, because wowbagger asked. Seems like I not only annoyed mistysakura, but I also convinced Lupin that I need to be given a put-down and another hint. Sigh.
